This Order also replaces the entry for Serbia and Montenegro with separate entries for Montenegro and Serbia in respect of both the Hague Convention and the European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions concerning Custody of Children and on Restoration of Custody of Children, signed at Luxembourg on 20th May 1980 (Cm. 191). This Order also amends the entries in Schedule 1 in relation to the Hague Convention for Canada in respect of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nunavut, to reflect relevant records.
